I plan to go back to work in 6 weeks (Aug 27) . but I think I may be doomed!!! I haven't started pumping, I haven't even bought a pump....(i am going to get the Medla Swing Pump). Am i pushing it to close? I haven't tried him on a bottle yet? Am I to late to try to get him to take it?

Re: When to start...

It is never too late to start. It is great you have been going this far, you just have to get in the mode. If you don't want a stash in your freezer then you just need to get enough to get your baby through the first day. There are other posts to tell you how much you need at first and of course plenty of websites. If you start pumping now just once a day you will have more than enough for your baby on your first day back and then you would also have a small stash built up. kellymom.com is the site I have found for guidelines and ideas. Of course this is the best place to ask and get an answer since they have all been there and done that.;)
